Hm, though it seems ehci is involved somehow (I'm not sure of the
relationship) and there seems some USB trouble in ugensa later..

Ok, status 0x12 means the command failed with invalid command parameters
(which blatantly shouldn't happen :) and there is no handling for that
as yet**

- 7B 96 5F DC 1A 00     your phone address
- 1E FF                 packet types (0xff1e)
- 00                    page scan rep mode (is ok to be 0)
- 00                    page scan mode (is obsolete and should be 0)
- 00 00                 clock offset but( is ok to be 0)
- 01                    allow role switch

So. things to try

1. "btconfig ubt0 ptype 0x0018" - I don't know why but some devices seem
    to require this or something like. It limits the air packets to the
    bare minimum that its mandatory to support rather than what the device
    claims to support.

2. "btconfig ubt0 -switch" - disable role switching which means that your
   computer will insist on being the master of the connection (it should
   not make a difference)

3. turn off ehci somehow (in BIOS you can sometimes switch to legacy USB
   but you lose USB2.0 speeds)

4. If you do an "btconfig ubt0 inquiry" beforehand and the device is
   discovered, the stack remembers the "clock offset" and "page scan rep
   mode" settings for 10 minutes and will use them in the command as it
   can help building a connection (I don't know what "page scan rep mode"
   is exactly but all three settings are fine to be zero)

5. You could try for incoming connections by setting up comms/obexapp and
   attempt to send something from the phone to the computer.

** because annoyingly, when this happens, it does not give any hint as to
which CreateConnection failed. It used to be that a callout would kick in
and interrupt the blockage but that was changed unrelatedly and it doesn't
get activated until afterwards now - in your case there was only one
command failure but I am still thinking about how to handle the error case
in a more general fashion since its allowed to have several commands in
the queue.
